The Canterbury Association for Gifted Education (CAGE)

Mission Statement

CAGE is an educational organisation for teaching professionals to provide support for those working with gifted and talented students.

AIM

To provide professional development and support for teachers through regular meetings and workshops, in all areas of gifted and talented education. These areas include the academic, physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the gifted and talented.

Benefits

The benefits of belonging to CAGE include:

Professional development meetings for educators across all sectors are held at least once a term on a Thursday from 4.15 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

Each meeting is designed to offer teachers and other educators support in specific areas of gifted education.

Each year we aim to invite a range of local, national or international speakers.

Professional development half day workshops with national or international speakers are held at a fraction of the normal costs.

The Executive Committee is usually made up of educators from early childhood to tertiary levels to encourage every sector to have a voice.

There is an annual opportunity to stand for the Executive and be a part of the team.
